Unfortunately we are now in a situation where there will a trailing legacy for the next 30 years of people who went through the university system and have been indoctrinated to believe there is only the one correct opinion on any given top

Its this new concept that says you can only be a nice, respectful person if you sign up to a particular ideology and view the world through this lens. This ideology is usually espoused by people who have only have a couple of years life exp

Whats the point of the extraordinary high levels of bio-security restrictions in these labs then? Wuhan is BSL-4? https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2017.21487

You addressed none of the criticisms in the paper I mentioned. Yet the original paper seems to be the entire basis for your argument.

Semantics...unless you are suggesting that all natural viruses brought into the lab were inert before they passed through the doors to the lab.

In the context of an issue of such global significance, given the degree of pressure a nation-state like China is going to apply, I think you are being incredibly naive to accept a single scientific paper on face value. Here's a critiq

Nonsense. Given labs obviously keep a library of natural viruses for research purposes, how does "actual science like genome analysis" prove it wasn't a lab leak? This argument is just bs put forward by scientists highly moti

The evidence for not being a lab leak was just as weak as being a lab leak. But only one of these scenarios was ridiculed, cancelled, censored, banned by the media. We also know that senior people in the US medical establishment responsible

Would need to confirm the detail but I think polio and chicken pox appeared before labs were a thing, and HIV came from Africa where they dont have labs. This is compared to the coronavirus which first appeared just down the road from a lab

Completely disagree. Having an awareness that is completely wrong due to media disinformation, puts you behind someone who at least knows they are ignorant on the subject.

Unfortunately due to how bad the media is now, truth is is always on a time-delay release. I think in alot of cases if your understanding of a topic is based purely on what you've heard in the media, then you are less informed than som

Not at all. Privacy concerns obviously become much more critical when an aggressive foreign power is involved and is likely to weaponise the data. Particularly a country like China that operates the most sophisticated control/surveilla

Who cares? Does China allow Facebook, Twitter etc within its own borders? Why not? Is there anything unreasonable about treating China the same way it treats others?

Because we are now going through what could be described as another "industrial revolution" in the production of bullshit. And given the state of the mainstream media this is really saying something.

Well I guess at a minimum we can say that the party of Bernie Sanders appear to be just as sleazy and corrupt as they accuse their opponents. I think SBF was the single largest donor to the Dems in the last election.

What would be ideal would be some kind of anti-balloon weaponry/recovery system. Some kind of balloon-based counter-balloon technology that could take control of the balloon and bring it to the ground intact. Would be a fun project to

Good. There is nothing worse than having people who, with a couple of years life experience as an adult, never having had an independent or critical thought, believing they are in a position to tell everybody else how to think and behave.
